Shhh Daddy won’t Know
The story follows Elena Vance, a 42-year-old woman who has spent the last decade building a life of quiet luxury and stability with her husband, Julian Vance, a high-powered, often-absent corporate attorney. Their marriage is functional but cold a partnership built on appearances rather than passion.
The status quo is shattered when Julian’s estranged son from a previous marriage, 23-year old Lucas, moves into their secluded lakeside estate after a mysterious fallout at his university. Lucas is everything Julian is not: impulsive, artistic, and deeply observant. While Julian views his son as a failure to be managed, Elena sees a young man who is hurting.
What begins as Elena’s maternal instinct to "fix" the broken family dynamic quickly spirals into a dangerous, mutual obsession. Trapped in a house filled with secrets and Julian’s controlling presence, Elena and Lucas find themselves drawn together by their shared loneliness. The "forbidden" nature of their connection creates an addictive tension that threatens to destroy the very foundation of the Vance family. As the lines between comfort and desire blur, Elena must decide if she is willing to burn down her perfect life for a love that society and her husband will never forgive.
